The Story: The Traveler’s Keepsake
Legend has it these fierce guardians once adorned the entryway of a mid-century villa hidden in the rolling hills of the French Riviera. Discovered during the estate’s sale in the 1960s by an adventurous antiquities collector, the lion heads were said to have been commissioned by a visionary modernist sculptor, who designed them as protectors of the villa’s prized art collection. Their brass bases were a later addition, added to stabilize their stance when the collector brought them to America, where they spent decades as revered guardians of an artist’s studio in New York City. Today, they stand ready to lend their history, power, and artistic allure to a new chapter in your home.

The Symbolism of Lions
Lions have long been revered as symbols of strength, courage, and majesty. Across cultures and centuries, they’ve been seen as guardians and protectors, embodying leadership, resilience, and wisdom. In Feng Shui, lion statues are believed to ward off negative energy and invite prosperity and protection. Placing these lion heads in your space is not just a design choice—it’s an invitation to channel their power and grace into your life.

Why They’re Special:

  • Mid-Century Elegance: Their sleek, modernist lines blend seamlessly with contemporary or vintage decor.
  • Symbolic Power: A timeless emblem of courage and strength, perfect for inspiring confidence in any setting.
  • Handcrafted Design: The sculptural lion heads are a testament to Sarreid’s dedication to quality and artistry.
  • Unique Provenance: With a tale of adventure and artistry, they carry a history that’s as captivating as their design.

These Modernist Sarreid Lion Heads are more than just decor—they’re symbols of resilience and guardianship, embodying the spirit of the lion. Let them roar into your collection today.
